HOW TO DO IT

Nose Compass 360

Saechika combines upper-body preparation, heel-side nose loading and rear-leg movement into rotation, preparing the return near 270. The title does not establish a wholly airborne 360.

Preparation and setting

Controlled nose support, small supported turns and a reliable return.

Execution / application sequence

  1. Prepare the upper body without dropping the hips beyond support.
  2. Organize the source's heel-side nose loading.
  3. Coordinate the rear-leg movement into rotation.
  4. Maintain clearance of the free board end.
  5. Begin preparing the return near the source's 270 reference.
  6. Regain balanced travel without adding an uncontrolled pivot.

Learning and practice

Separate load, rotation and return. Increase the supported arc only when the rider can terminate it deliberately.

Errors and corrections

Free end catches: reduce range and restore clearance. Upper body drags everything around: reduce winding and coordinate separation. Return too late: rehearse the finish from a smaller arc.

Observable checks

Nose support and deliberate return are identifiable; exact phase angles still need demonstration comparison.

The written caption emphasizes timing, drawing the rear leg in during the later phase and sufficient board clearance to avoid catching an edge. A complete English teaching sequence needs review of the narrated demonstration.
